Frank, where did you get this text ? It's not the text I quoted from
the LS README :
"The LinuxSampler library (liblinuxsampler) and its applications are
distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (see
COPYING file), but with the EXCEPTION that they may NOT be used in
COMMERCIAL software or hardware products without prior written
authorization by the authors."
Its my understanding of the GPL that you CANNOT apply additional
restrictions and still call it "GPL".
I'd suggest they consult with an attorney before they write such
foolery.
This is from recent CVS sources.
Best,
dp

stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
